Woman Triggered by Hobby Lobby Cotton Decoration, Demands it be Removed

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on September 22, 2017 48 Comments

Cotton. Cotton is now, apparently, a racist symbol that triggers people perusing craft stores. Or it did Daniell Rider. Rider was shopping at the local Hobby Lobby in Killeen, Texas when she passed a cotton decoration. But Rider did not continue on her merry hot gluing way, no, no. Rider decided to take a stand against this vile symbol of oppression. She snapped a picture of the Racist™ faux cotton stem, tapped on her Facebook app, and demanded the retailer remove the decorative stems from their store.

Radical fallout: Oberlin College enrollment drops, causing financial problems

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 09, 2017 27 Comments

At both the University of Missouri and Evergreen State College, an atmosphere of aggressive "Social Justice" activism damaged enrollment and contributed to financial difficulties. Apparently, even liberal students don't want to attend institutions where student and faculty social justice warriors have turned the campus into a battleground. The same thing may be happening at Oberlin College in Ohio.

Students Demand Denunciation and Investigation of Professors: 1966 China or 2017 U. Penn?

Increasingly, campus "social justice" activism is resembling the tactics of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, particularly the public shaming of those deemed ideologically incorrect, including professors. In The new Cultural Revolution on Campuses in late April 2017, I reviewed recent examples, including Yale, Cornell, Middlebury and Claremont McKenna:

Why the Chattanooga Mayor’s Plans to Stop Upkeep of Confederate Cemetery is Misguided

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on August 20, 2017 41 Comments

There is a deserved reverence that applies across the board for the men and women who gave their lives, many, unwillingly for a cause they may or may not have championed. Alas... Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke announced Friday plans to "renounce its position as a trustee" of a local Confederate Cemetery.

Statue of St. Junipero Serra appears to have been vandalized

Monuments to Confederate soldiers aren't the only memorials being target by social justice vandals. Not only was a statue of St. Joan of Arc in New Orleans tagged with "Tear it Down" graffiti, a sculpture of another Catholic state looks as if it has been the target of vandalism this week.

Merkel Government Threatens ‘Legal Measures’ to Impose Gender Quota in Corporate Boardrooms

Posted by Vijeta Uniyal on August 17, 2017 15 Comments

Just weeks until the September election, Merkel government is threatening "legal measures" against large German companies that fail to implement a 'gender quota' by putting more women on their executive boards. In what could simply be cheap antics to garner votes from women, the Merkel government is waging a war against “male-dominated” corporate boardrooms. Germany's Women's Affairs Minister Katarina Barley has “threatened legal measures if the firms fail to fix the problem within the year,” German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle reported on Wednesday. The Women's Affairs Minister presented a report on the “Corporate Gender Imbalance” to the Merkel-led cabinet this week. According to the report, large German companies had 27.3 percent of women on their supervisory boards. This still isn't good enough for the Merkel government. The State wants large companies to allocate more than 30 percent of seats on their boards to women.
